Wilde's remark in October, 1861, to the effect that Lady Wilde was jealous of her ; and afterwards gave evidence of several of the matters referred to by counsel, as having cc warred prior to February, 1862, at the time of the Dublin Exhibition. She had then called at Sir William house, and she tells what occurred : " Do you remember him placing his arms round your waist ?—I do. Tell what passed ?—lle had been exnin ing my arm. I, had been bruised the Christmas Day pre viously-, and it was not quite well. Ho had hold of one of my arms, and put his hand on the other arm and said, Y o u must call me William.• I said I would not. He said he would keep me there till I did. I said I would not, and to let me get up. I was at this time kneeling near the table by his direction. I knelt to show him my arm. He said, 'Did you say William?' I got up. He stopped me at the door and said he could not let me away, for I was excited. I went away. The next day I got a letter from him, which I returned to him unopened. I got another, which I opened. There was in it, 'Forgive. lam miserable. Do see me,' I returned him the letter the nex day at his own house, requesting him not to send me such letters again, and that I considered him an ineligiLle ac quaintance. I said I thought his conduct on the previous occasion was unmanly, mean, and dishonourable. He asked iLe did I think him mean, and did I believe he harboured any die , horieurable intent ion. I said I did. He said if he thought I did he would never open his lips to me again. I told him he acted in an unmanly way when I was alone with him. He said he would have acted in the same way it others weto present, and that lie wished me to regard him as a brother." The portion of Miss Travars's evidence which bears upon the occurrence in the study on the 14th October, 1862, is reported as under:—" I received this letter now produced from him (Sir William) in October : ' To-morrow—not to. day.' I called on him on the day he appointed in that letter. On the day I called he said I called late, or that he had something to do. I cannot recollect at this moment what excuse he made, but he said, ' I wish to have a chat with you—will you come to-morrow ?' I did call. He asked me 'How is this burn getting on ?' alluding to the burn on my neck. I had not referred to it. He said, I would like to see it.' He came over and took eff my bonnet, and then he put his hand to pass it over the burn, as he had often done before, and in doing so he fastened his hand rather roughly between the ribbon that was on my neck and my throat, and in some way, I suppose, I redsted. I believe I said, Oh you are suffocating me,' and he said, 'Yes, I will, I cannot help it,' and then I do not recollect anything more until he was dashing water in my face. Chief Justice—When you said 'you are suffocating me,' what did he Eay ?—I believe he said, ' I will suffocate you, I cannot help it.'

RIDG WAY & CO. December Bth, 1861. The Extraordinary Libel Case. DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning, The hearing of the remarkable trial which is now attract ing so large an amount of public attention was continued yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas. As already stated, the action is one of libel, brought by Miss Travers against, Sir William and Lady Wilde, the female defendant having written to Dr Travers, the father of the plaintiff, alleging that the latter had been guilty of disreputable conduct, that she was endeavouring to make it appear that she had had an intrigue with Sir William Wilde, and was trying on that account to extort money from Lady Wilde and her husband. The female defendant pleaded that she had written the letter in good faith, without malice, believing its statements to be true, and the pleadings also set out certain annoy ances in the way of offensive pamphlets and handbills to which Sir William and Lady Wilde had been exposed by the plaintiff, Miss Travers being anxious, it was raid, to revenge herselt for some supposed slights put, upon her by ' the lady. According to the plaintiff, however, the reason of her antipathy was much more grave, as she asserted that Sir William Wilde had on one occasion forcibly possessed himself of her person, having first rendered her unconscious. This was stated to has e occurred in the study of Sir William, who is a medical man. The data of the occurrence was Oct. 14, 1862. The case was opened by Sergeant Armstrong, who had not concluded at the rising of the Court on Monday. An abstract of his speech up to that point has already been forwarded. Yesterday morning, resuming the history of the affair, the learned gentleman proceeded to show that, after the occurrence in the study, Sir William Wilde had been in a state of constant dread and anxiety lest the plaintiff should ruin him by making the matter public. He used to oblige her with small loans. She asked £B, and she called and got £2 10s. On that occasion he requested her to call next day, but she refused. She aloe told him that she had altered her mind about leaving the country, a step which she had meditated for the second time after the violation, and he said " Of course you have changed your mind—you have no mind but to be revenged on me." It would appear that she refused to take the money, and wanted, as an excuse for going away, a book instead. Violent language passed between them, and, "driven to frenzy, she left the house, went to a doctor's house in the neighbourhood, procured two ounces of laudanum, returned to Sir W. Wilde's, poured it into a glass, end drank it in his presence. What is that ?' said he. Laudanum,' said she. 'My God I' said he, you have revenge now ;' and he threw himself on the ground in a frantic state. He hurried her to Dr Walsh's, in Westland_row, where they got an anti dote. People labouring under extraordinary excitement will not suffer the same effects from a narcotic as people of calm temperament ; and so, with great difficulty, the antidote prevailed, and she was saved. Dr Wilde protested against her going home that night, and said, ' Go to your friends in Cavendish-row.' She went, and gave them some account of the affair, but said nothing of the violation. At Sir Wm. Wilde's request, she subsequently agreed to say that the taking of the laudanum had occurred accidentally, and she also promised to apply to him for whatever she wanted in the way, as it would appear, of loans of money and the like. These loans she was pinching herself to repay, and be blamed her for doing so. There was a great deal more in counsel's speech about Sir W. Wilde continuing to be ap prehensive of the girl's revenge, and begging her to keep everything quiet ; but enough had been hinted on that head. Coming to the month of June, 1863, counsel stated that Miss Travers had rather severely reviewed a book, called " The First Temptation; or, Eritis Eicut Deus,' t ronslated by Lady Wilde from the German. The volume was assailed in consequence of the mode in which it dealt with some of the doctrines of Christianity; and the unfa vourable review appeared in two of the Dublin newspapers, Sir W. Wilde thought that this was a portion of Miss Tra vers's revenge, and said, "You will ultimately expose the whole affair and go mad." About this time Miss Travers wrote a letter to Lady Wilde, but it never reached her. How ever, "in consequence of what Sir William had stated to her about the reviews and otherwise," the plaintiff became anxious to see Lady Wilde, and went to the house. Lady Wilde passed out, without appearing to recognise her. Sir William Wilde then became excited, and shouted out, " I am done with you! You may try the law now; and tell your father that I care for nothing else." This was said "in the most distracted way," and in such a tone that it could be heard by a Mr Hogan, who happened to stand in the hall. Counsel then applied himself to the pamphlet which had annoyed the defendants. It was "written by Miss Travers, and entitled ' I lorence Boyle Price; or, the Warning. By Speranza.' Speranza; " counsel explained, " was the signature under which Lady Wilde wrote: To a certain extent the work was in the character of A fiction, and the plaintiff's object was to allude to her own story, to the transactions between herself and Sir William Wilde, under a feigned name, and to give at least a sketch of some of the passages between them." The learned sergeant here read the pamphlet at length. The names in the pamphlet are fictitious, Miss Travers being " Florence Boyle Price," and Sir William Wilde "Dr Quilp." The father of Miss Travers figures as "Dr Robert Boyle Price," and Lady Wilde, who is described as "an odd sort of undomestic woman," is, of course, called "Mrs Quilp." This pam phlet is very long, and goes into the history of the ac quaintance between Miss Price and the Quilps. Wilh re ference to the language made use of, counsel stated that while " substantially similar, it differed in some respects from those facts to which Miss Travers would depose. "Chloroform," he proceeded to explain, " was not actually used, bat the knuckles were applied, and wrought their purpose. She had:introduced the chloroform in the pam phlet by way of episode." "What," the learned gentle. man asked, " does it amount to ? That she was outraged by Quilp treacherously in his own study," The pamphlet also purported to give the text of the intercepted letter referred to as having been sent by the plaintiff to Lady Wilde : "Miss Price's compliments to Mrs Quilp,' and requests she will make it her conven'ence to be at her town residence as soon as possible. Miss Price considers it necessary to inform Mrs Quilp, in her hus band's presence, of the immorality and brutality to which she had been subjected by Dr Quilp, in his own house." The closing portion of Sergeant Armstrong's speech had relation to the defences pleaded by Lady Wilde, and which, he contended, were insufficient to shield her and her hus band from the consequences of the libellous letter. He did not defend the pamphlets and handbills which the plaintiff had circulated out of revenge; but she had been driven to extremities, and the jury should give her such damages as would "set her name right before the public, and in some degree compensate for her lacerated feelings and broken heart." To Mr Butt—l had lost consciousness before the water was flung in my face. I did not see him throwing the water, tut I felt it on my face. He told me to look up,' because that if I did not rouse myself I would be his ruin and my own.' Rouse yourself,' he said, for both our sakes; for your preservation and mine, hive self-command.' I don't think that is the word he used. He said something about Australia—to have sense—to have faith and confi dence in him, and that he would direct me out of the dilem ma in which I had got myself by my foolish determination; he said to me to promise to follow his advice and his quid.. adce, and keep myself quint, or the first person I would meet I would talk to. He brought wino and wanted me to take it; he had it in the study. I would not drink it. He said my lips were closed with determination. He said he would fling it over me if I did not take it. He said a great deal to me; he said to call him any name I liked, for that he deserved it all, but to spare him, I had not spoken all this time. He called himself a ruffian, I am not sure whether he used other expresrions ; he said something or other about fate. He said I was struggling against my fate. He said he wished the devil or the angel Gabriel would make me less perverse, or make me' something or other. He swore he would never touch my head again. Id( fJre I spoke he said a great deal more. He said, ' Louk up, you see I am throwing it into the fire' as if it was a handkerchief. He was throw ing it into the fire, but I did not see it. I don't know whether he did it or not—l did not look. lie got hold of my eye.. lashes to open them, and said he did so with his children, and that if I did not follow his advice I would xuin myself. "When he said he was throwing it into the fire were your eyes open ?—No ; when I first opened my eyes I think he was standing with his back to the door; his hand was on my aam. I was sitting on a chair near the door. I think I was not more than 10 minutes in the room, but I cannot say. After I opened my eyes he said, ' You cannot go out of this nod o i ; I Want :you to go up stairs and sit quistly for some time. You cannot go out now, When I speak to you going up stairs don't turn round.' He led me out, and said to look at a present that some one had sent to baby' some (Lys before. lam not sure whether he came up with me or not. I did not meet any one on the stairs; there was some one in the hall. I was about ten minutes in the room below stairs. When he came up he brought a sponge, with which he sponged my face; and I think he said come to come to the glass and look at my face, and not to attempt to think of going out. When I left the house finally I think he came up for me. I know he said I was to come down again —that he had something important to say to me, and nJt to go out with out his knowledge. • " In what stato were you wllen you were in the room up.. stairs P—l was too stupid to'know what I was doing; I had no energy : I did not much mind what was done with me. An hour elapsed before I left the house; it was be tween one and four. I think I went home straight. After leaving the house I received the following letter :—' Could you not come or answer ? Don't you want something— boots and under-things for winter ?' I cannot say whether that is the first letter I received after the occurrence I have stated, but 1 don't think I have one that came before that I saw him within 14 days of receiving that letter.

The examination of the witness has not yet terminated. -___ DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning. To-day Miss Travers's examination was concluded, and Sergeant Sullivan cross - examined her. Sh e a d m itt e d that she had asked Sir William for money, and had accepted con cert tickets from him since the date of the alleged outrage. He had on two or three subsequent occasions been guilty of acts which had led her to believe that he intended to repeat the offence. She was not sure whether she had ever said that on the 14th of October, 1862, when the alleged outrage was committed, he had not been successful in the attempt. She had used the word chloroform in her pamphlet to illus trate Sir William Wilde's treachery. The plaintiff's cross-examination was concluded. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—II OIII O3IpatIaic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to b obt , ined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied to the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length sucoeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect ti ituration it receives in the process it passes thro , :gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Missal), in his wo:k, "Food and its Adulteratio.:s," says -" Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles-every ing - redieat necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than ether coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured is tin-lined Vb., Ob., and 11b, labelled packets, and sold by all grocers, confectioners, and chemists.- [Anvp.] The plaintiff, Mary Josephine Travers, was then exa mined by Mr Butt, Q.C. She is rather a plain-looking young lady, but the expression of her features is decidedly intellectual. In answer to the questions of counsel, she gave the history of her acquaintance with Sir Wm. Wilde, be• ginning in 1854, when she had gone to his house to consult him about deafness, on the recommendation of Dr Stokes. Her motLer accompanied her. Sir William asked her to get her father, who is a distinguished scholar, to correct some manuscripts of his, and a correspondence ensued. It is more than seven years since the correspondence began. Being straitened in means occasionally, Sir William suggested loading her money, and she borrowed small sums from him [ADvEuTrsEmENTl—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Diseases of the most tormithiblo and chronic character have been cured by Holloway's remedies.

The Field Marshal Command ing in Chief has directed Capt the Hon H. Hobart, of the 103 Regiment, to proceed from the depot to the ferviee companies on promotion. Ensign Hare, of the same regi ment, is to proceed to India with the draughts of the en suing Beason. Lieut Mardon, of the 60th Regiment, is to rejoin and remain with the depot until further orders. S aff Assist Surg Dr Palatiano is to proceed to Colchester for duty with the 9th depot battalion. Leave of absence until the end of the year has been granted to Col Dickson, 16th Lancers—Lieut Caldecott, 38th—Lieut Foster, 64th—and Quartermaster Vousdon, of the 4th depot battalion. A party of invalids, from the general corps in garrison in Colchester, has left the camp for the Royal Hospital, Netley. Dr Dane, principal medical officer at Colchester, has been authorised to proceed to Norwich, Ipswich, Languard Fort, and Harwich, for the purpose of making his half-yearly sanitary inspection of the barracks and hospitals at those stations. Col Knox, RA., has received instruction from the Horse Guards to proceed to Great Yarmouth, for the purpose of conferring with the local authorities as to the police super vision of the magazines of those places. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, will be commissioned at Chatham tc-day by Copt A. C. Gordon (Feb. 5, 1858). She is to have a complement of 275 cfficers and men, including Royal Marines, and she will be attached to the North America and West India station. It was yesterday announced at Chatham that the Lords of the Admiralty have taken into favourable consideration the claims of the warrant officers employed at the Royal dock yards. By an Order in Council, they will each receive an increase of salaries, besides being placed in a superior foot hag as regards pension, &c.; when retiring from the service. tinder this arrangement, the boatswain at Chatham dock yard receives an increase of salary of £2O, and the foreman of riggers (also a warrant officer) an increase of £4O per annum, a similar augmentation of salary being made to the warrant of f icers at each of the other naval establishments. In consequence of Christmas-day falling this year on Sun day, the whole of the naval establishments and dockyard at Chatham will be closed on Monday, the 26th inst., and the workmen granted a day's holyday. It is not yet decided whether the workmen at the Royal Dockyards will obtain a holyday on the Saturday before Christmas-day, but a movement has been set on foot among the workmen at some of the yards to petition the Board of Admiralty to close the public dockyards from Friday evening until Tuesday morn ing. In referring to the ironclad screw frigate Valiant yester day, we should have stated that she was built by the Thames Ironworks Shipbuilding, &c., Company (Limited). The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. Menzies, to the Osprey, vice lanes, invalided—S. S. Sugdon, master, to the Cadmus—C.

At the Preston Police-court, on Monday, Mr John New ton, cotton manufacturer, of Preston ; John Newton, his son, bookkeeper; Messrs James and Wm. Halliwell, cotton manufacturers, Blackburn; Mr James Singleton, commis sion agent, and Michael Cairns, carter, of Blackburn, were charged with being concerned in the extensive robbery of weavers' beams, cotton yarn and pieces, oil, tallow, &c., the property of the assignees of the first named prisoner. Mr Cetterall, who appeared for the prosecution, said since the last remand of the case information had been obtained which led the prosecutors to believe that the prisoners Sin gleton and Cairns, although they had had a hand in the removal of the property from Newton's premises in Pres ton, v ere not aware that it was being dishonestly taken, and therefore he should ask for their discharge. In regard to the younger Newton, he might say that he had always worked under his father's control; and the three prisoners named were then discharged. Afterwards Mr Wm. Seed, cotton spinner, one of the assignees, gave evidence as to see ing several of the artioles stolen safe on the defendant's premises on the 19. h ult. John Yetes,Emmanuel Horsfield, and Jas, Smith, each connected with the cotton trade, de posed as to the similarity between the beams, &e., produced and those belonging to the elder Newton, and in operation prior to his assignment. A bailiff, named Cotterell, who was in charge of Newton's premises when the robbery took place, was called upon to give evidence; but he could not be found, and it was stated that he was secreting him self. John Newton, jun., was next examined. He said that on Thursday, the 17th ult., whilst he was having a sale of his household goods, the prisoner James Halliwell came up to him and asked him whose the goods were which were being sold. He replied that they were his own. Afterwards Halliwell said " Have you signed over too r . He replied that he had not. Halliwell then asked him where his father was, and was toll to inquire next door. He then walked away. At midnight Halliwell came again, and on seeing him (witness) said "Tell your father we have been, and that he must come to us at the Shooters' Arms in Parke road." Next morning his father told him that he had sold some weft and heads to James Halliwell and a man named Taylor. At his father's oequest he afterwards wrote to Jas. Halliwell, requesting him to come to Preston by the last train that evening. Next day his father said that Halliwell had been, and that he must make out a bill for him for some beams, yarn, healds, &e. At first he refused to make out the bill, but on being assured that it was all right he did so. His father told him that the prisoner, William Halliwell, was with James the previous night. The bill amounted to £lO odd. The same morning he went into his father's factory yard, and there saw his father, James Halliwell, and two men he did not know. They had a cart loaded, and were putting ropes and sacks upon it. Jas. Halliwell said "Is the bailiff about r He (witness) replied that he was not, and then said, "This is queer work." Halliwell after wards paid £2O to his father, andyemarked to him (witness) " Say nothing about it, and the assignees will not find us out." His father put a question to Hallwell, who in reply said that, "If ho pieced up with his assignees he could have the goods back on paying the carriage." On the fol lowing day ho wont with his father to Blackburn, and saw both James and Wm, Halliwell. and it was arranged they should buy from his father a quantity of tallow at 3d per lb and some oil at 3s per gallon ; also some cotton cloth at lOs ter piece. On the following morning he (witness) was knocked up by his father at half-past 5 o'clock and told to make out a bill, amounting to £32 17s 5d for oil, tallow, cotton cloth, yarns, beams, healds, reed, &c., to be supplied to the Halliwells. When he had made out the bill he went into his father's millyard, and there saw his father, James Halliwell, and two other persons. They had a cart and were loading it with the goods named in the bill. Afterwards Halliwell paid £3O he his flither, and said he would remit the remainder. Next day ho (witness) went to Blackburn by , direction of his father and saw Wm. Halliwell, who said, " Have the assignees found it out." He replied that they had, and that the police had been making inquiries about the affair. He told Halliwell to put all the beams ho and his brother had got into the looms, to rub all the numbers on them out, to take the papers off, to remove all the oil, tallow, cloth, &c., and that he replied he would do so. On the fol lowing day he and his father went over to Blackburn and saw James Halliwell, who was told to get the goods out of the way as soon as possible. Last Monday, whilst in a room at the Preston House of Correction, he overheard James Ilalliwell say," It's killing me this work;" and afterwards heard 'William Halliwell say, " We can do them yet, if the assignment has not been published in the papers." On being cross-examined by Mr Radcliffe, of Blackburn, who appeared for the Messrs. Halliwell, witness said that nobody except Mr Edelston, the solicitor who appeared for himself and his father, had told him to make a statement of what had taken place to the oourt ; that he could not identify the yarn on the beams ; that he did not know until the day when the last load of goods was recovered that anything wrong had been done; that he neither told the Messrs Halliwell nor any other person about his father's assignment; and that he did not assist to load the cart which took the goods away. James Singleton, commission agent, of Blackburn said that on the night of the 18th ult, he went with James and Wm. Ilalliwell to Preston; that on arriving they went ;out for two hours, and then came back to him, stating that they had bought some beams and pieces of cotton ; that next morning, at six o'clock, he was knooked up, and James Halliwell took him and Cairns, a carter, to Newton's weav ing shed, where they saw Newton, his son, and another man; that some beams, cotton pieces, and reeds were put into Cairn's cart, and taken to Messrs, Halliwell's shed, where they were unloaded in the presence of Wm. Halliwell ; that in a week after he again went with the Messrs. Halliwell to Preston; that another cart of goods was taken from New ton's shed to Blackburn; and that at night he saw James • Z/" -- ,--- r.

PRICE .4d STAMPED ....5d Halliwell, who said that when in Preston he had some tea and rum when Mr Newton and the bailiff in charge. Cross examined by Mr Radcliffe—On both occasions that I went to Preston I saw Newton's son assisting to load the cart, and he seemed to be taking as much interest in the affair as anybody else. I did not know ihat Newton had made an assignment. Michael Cairns, carter, of Thaekburn, eaid that on Saturday, 19th ult., he carted come beams and cotton pieces, by direction of Mr W. Halliwell, from Newton's shed, at Preston, to Messrs. Halliwell's place, in Blackburn, and that Mr J. Halliwell was. present when the goods were removed. The defence was 1.E . -served, and the three prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions.—Yesterday, New ton the elder, and his son, were charged with stealing some tallow and strapping, the property of the assignees named, Wm. Aims ,v3rth, broker, &c., of Preston, was also charged with receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen. After several witnesses had been examined, the three pri soners were committed for trial. Bail was accepted for the appearance of the younger Newton and Ainsworth. The Drawbacks on the Exportation of Sugar. A convention between her Majesty the Queen, t h e King of the Belgians, the Emperor of the Ft ench, and th e King of the Netherlands, regulating the draw, backs on sugars, was signed at Paris, Nov. 8, 1864, of e e ,h e fol lowing are the principal articles:—By article 1 the minimum of the yield of sugars in the process of refining is regulated provisionally per 100 kilogrammes of raw sugar as follows : —Nos. 18, 17, 16, 15, of the series of Dutch standards, re fined sugar in leaf, 87 kilogrammes ; Nos. 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9,8, 7, 85 kilogrammes ; below 7, 70 kilogrammes ; in termediate shades of colour between two c eases shall belong to the lower class. Article 2 states that " immediately after the exchange of the ratifications of the present convention, steps shall bo taken by common agreement, at common ex. pence, under the joint control of agents named by the four contracting Governments, and in such locality as may be mutually agreed upon, fur making p'ract.ical experiments in the refining of raw sugars, of each claes, and as far as pos sible of different origins, in order to determine their real yield." The third article declares that the yields fixed by article 1 shall be modified in accordance wi, h the results ob tained by the experiments referred to. The fourth article provides for establishing an exact correlation between the import duties and the yields fixed in accordance with the pre ceding article ; and article 6 states that until articles 2,3, and 4 be carried into execution, the Government of her Britannic Majesty shall reduce the present drawback on the exporta tion of refined sugars by 6d. per English hundredweight. The yield for sugar-candy may be 7 per cent. , ess than that for refined sugars in loaf. By article 9 it is prow iced that "crushed sugars, in crystal or powder, rendered by any process equal in quality to pure refined sugars, shall re ceive on exportation the same drawback as the la• ter sugars, upon condition, first, that they be taxed for consumption or importation with the duties attaching to refined sugars— secondly, that they be perfectly clarified and dried, and equal to the standard samples established by the existing legislation of Great Britain, which standard shall be obli gatory upon such of the contracting parties as may desire to avail themselves of the option provided by this article. Arti cle 10 states that the drawback granted on the exportatien of sugars called bastard, or fillers, according to the class to which they belong, shall not exceed the duties attaching to raw sugars; and by the next article it is agreed that no drawback, return of duty, or discharge on exportation, shall be allowed for molasses, or any kind of treacle or syrup. Pending the carrying into execution of articles 2 and the duties on all refined sugars may be 4 per cent, in excess of the rates fixed by article 13, which states that the import duties on refined sugars in loaf, and on sugars in crystal or powder assimilated to refined, imported from one of the con tracting countries into another, shall not be higher than the drawback on the exportation of pure refined sugar. In France the impart duty shall be 15 per cent. on raw sugars of Nos. 15 to 18. This per centage shall be reduced or increased in proportion to the yield, which may be de finitely fixed. The duty on sugar candy may be 7 per cent. higher than the duties attaching to other re fined sugars. Prices shall be assimilated to raw sugars. The legal tare (as stated in article 15), in countries where the duty is not levied on thenet weight, is fixed as follows : —Packages of wood (casks, cases, &c,), 13 per cent ; baskets, 8 per cent; other packages, doubles 4, singles 2 per cent. For beetroot and for sugars imported in packages other than those used for foreign sugars, the duties shall bo levied on the net quantity. It is moreover understood that raw beetroot sugars imported from one of the contracting countries into another shall be admitted for exportation after being refined, subject to the condition, so far as regards their importation into France, that they shall not be inferior to No. 16. By article 18 the respective authorities of the high contracting parties shall confer together in order to fix by common agreement the standards necessary for the execution of the present arrangements, and for revising them periodically. They also reserve to themselves to agree as to the steps to be taken for obtaining the adhesion of the Governments of other countries to the arrangements of the present convention; and in the event of bounties being granted in the said countries on the exportation of refined sugars, they will be at liberty to come to an understanding as to the surtax to be imposed on the importation of refined sugars of and from the said countries. The duration of the convention is by the last article (21) fixed at ten years.

The following is the exact text of the address presented to the King of Denmark by the &Tata tion of SchleswigErs which waited upon His Maj2sty at Kr.!ding : To His MAJESTY SI..G CHRISTIAN IX., ON THE PART OF THE DANISH. INHABITANTS OF SOULE'S WIG GREETING. Sire,—lt is with profound grief that we have received year Majesty's farewell. The force of circumstances has separated those who have been united for centuries. Brothers have been torn from brothers. Your Majesty's Crown has loot a jewel the preservation of which had cost torrents of blood. Sire, we have felt the necessity of once more greeting our old Sovereign for the last time. Ancient ties are brok n, and new ones have not yet been established. We are iso lated, not knowing what the future will bring us. We shall long cherish the recollections of the past as of the long series of years during which we lived under the mild rule of the Danish Kings. Fortune has given place ►_o disaster, but in joy as in sorrow we have kept our eyes steadily fixed upon the throne. We shall preserve our remembrance of bygone drys, and the Danish people on this side of the Konigsau will never forget its brothers beyond, for all our recollec tions are in common. But the times compel us to direct our gaze towards the future. In your Majesty's farewell ad dress we were recommended to seek consolation at the throne of Him who holds the happiness of nations and the fate of kingdoms in His Almighty hand. And we place our hopes on none other than on Him. Should it happen that the wishes of the population are allowed to exercise any influ ence upon the final settlement of our future, we pray your Majesty to retain the firm conviction that we shall show how deeply love to our ancient country is rooted in the hearts of the population of Schleswig,. May God guard your Majesty I May He protect Denmark, our ancient fatherland I ILS Majesty replied You have told me how bitterly you grieve to bo separated from Denmark and the Danish Royal House, and I pray you to believe that it has also been most painful to me to be placed under the necessity of relinquishing the ancient Danish Crown-land of Schleswig . , united for centuries with Denmark. Of all the cares and sorrows which have been heaped upon me during my brief rule, nothing has more de pressed my mind, nothing weighed more deeply on my heart than the separation from the brave,faithful, and loyal Schles wigers,who have upon so many difficult occasions constantly given the most brilliant proofs of fidelity and devotion to Denmark and the Danish Royal House, who have cherished no dearer or more zealous wish than to remain united with the kingdom under my sceptre. But, my friends, we rou4 all bow to the will of Providence, nod I will pray to the Almighty that he may give both to you and to me the re quisite strength and endurance to bear the bitter p angs of sepa ration. I thank you heartily for your presen ce at this place, and will consider it as an additional proof of your de votion to me and the Danish Royal House. M y best wishes for your future welfare will always be with you. M ay Clod preserve and bless you all."

POST.—No other country in the world has made the progrrss that has in the last few years been realised by Egypt. The trade and the revenue in the Valley of the Nile are increasing, not only bri. yond comparison of any other State at the same uncture, but beyond almost any other example that we can meet with in the reliable returns of previous times. Indeed, the sober tables that emanate from the Board of Trade are evidently quite astonished at this exception to their usual rule of steady and moderate increase, Much of this rush, so to speak, of Egyptian prosperity is due to the demand which has sprung up for cotton along the Lower Nile. But it does not altogether depend upon that couree. Before the cotton demand arose, or the American civil war had begun, Egypt was still one of the most rapidly augmenting countries in the world. The lone rule of old Mehemet Ali had been productive, on the whole, of immense bene fits, although they were countervailed by consider able evils. From efter the military events ending with the settlement of 1840, this prince raised Egypt to be a permanently pacific and gradually a civilised country. He opened to it all the wealth that the maritime communication between Europe and India could afford; and thus Egypt regained, under him, much of the ascendant that in the middle ages it had possessed before Vasco di Gama doubled the Cape, But he maintained such a restrictive system of commerce, and so monopolised to the Government all the departments of trade, that he was said to be the chief baker, butcher, and corn dealer throughout his dominions. With his death this cld-fashioned system broke down. His successors, who have each had but a short lease of power, adopted a compara tively liberal course, and left trade more or less to itself, A great further development of prosperity rewarded this liberality, and the increasing demand for cotton which has since arisen has completed the present extraordinary impetus to Egyptian trade. Egypt, as a wealthy, fruitful, and producing couna try, has stood the test of time more than any other country in the world. Oar authentic records of it go back for nearly four thousand years ; and we find it still the same granary of the nations in communie cation with it that it is now the sons of Jacob sent thither for corn 18 centuries before the Christian era, just as we are sending there for cotton 18 cen turies after it. The fertility of the Volley of the Nile has never failed; and nothing but war, which has been of rarer occurrence in Egypt than in any other country, has ever interrvpted its harvests. Egypt, too, is remarkable for the characteristic identity that it has preserved amid all surrounding revolutions, whether in dynasty or in religion. In all ages of its history it has been one and indivisible. Whether it were the old religion still recorded on its ancient monuments, whether it:were Christianity, or whether it were Mahometanism—whether governed by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, or Turks—the same fruitful and proiuctive Egypt has still survived, and seems, strangely enough, to suffer nothing by each revokes tion. No country in the eeorld ever approached it for its intrinsic stability or its imperturbable pros perity. The population of the Egyptian Vice royalty--another name for a tributary monarchy— is between five and six millions. The taxation even before the cotton demand arose, was nearly twenty shillings a head ; and the revenue amounted to nearly £5,000,000, The increase of production now, of course, yields ' under the same pressure of taxation, a considerably larger public income. The trade of the Gauntry, too, is so balanced between the domestic and the external that it may be 'aid to rely equally on home and foreign support. The increase of tonnage in ships entered and cleared in the ports of Alexandria and Suez appears to have averaged for some years past about 15 per cent. per annum. With regard to the increase in our own demand for cotton, the recent tables of the Board of Trade furnish rather striking indications. We have before us the tabular views for the seven months ending the 31st of July, in the three last years respectively. In 1862, the cotton importsd into the United Kingdom from Egypt was 396,000 cwt, ; in 1863, it was 660,000 cwt. ; and in 1864 it amounted to 796,000 cwt.—the latter figure being at the rate of about 1,400,000 cwt., or 70,000 tons of cotton in the whole year, This is equivalent to 300,000 bales ; which, being sold in Liverpool at £5O per bale at the least, represent a trade of £15,000,000 with this country alone in cotton. The other principal countries in trading communication with Egypt are France, Austria, Italy, Tut key,and Syria; and the export of cotton from Egypt to these countries is increasing in a corresponding degree, eo that the national income of Egypt from the sale of its productions to European countries is becoming something enormously large, and quite incelculabie for the future. We are glad to observe that the counterpart of the picture is. not wanting. Egypt is freely importing British produce in return for the cotton which we are taking of her. We have before us the tables of the " declared" value of the produce of the United Kingdom exported to Egypt during the first six months of the last three years. This value for 1862 was £953,000 ; for 1863 it was £1,898,000; and for 1861 it was £3,031,000. These figures are equivalent for the whole year to some thing under 12,000,000 in 1862, tinder £4,000,000 in 1863, and above £6,000,000 in 1864. Although the balance of trade is still considerably against us in Egypt, even at the prices at which cotton is sold by the growers for the Liverpool market, it is clear that a great reciprocal trade has sprung up between the two countries ; and this is perhaps the best guarantee for its durability. The Cotton which has been imported into this country from Egypt, during the present year, is nearly four times the amount that has been sent here from Brazil, and nearly eight times what has reached us from the United States, It represents, in fact, one-fifth of the whole import to this country from all parts of the world, the largest shipments being, of course, made by India, which has a population 30 times that of Egypt; but, nevertheless, India sends us no more than doable of what Egypt sends. The in crease and reciprocity of this Anglo-Egyptian trade is becoming a marked feature in the trade, and even in the politics, of the Levant. DAILY NEWS.—The military news brought by the Nova Scotian includes few items of a positive character, but such as they are they lead to inferences not unfavourable in the main to the Federals. Of Sherman's progress we still learn nothing except through Southern sources. From their silence, then, as to his being in want of supplies, it may begathered as a fact that his army had felt no pressure on this account. This is a most material admission, for it almost ensures at least his safety. If after being a fortnight on his routs his troops have been reduced to no straits in the matter of the commissariat, it is tolerably clear that the data on which he under took his march have proved sound in this respect. And if the provisioning of his force was thus secured, nothing but a superior force in the field could prevent his reaching the coast. Accordingly, the Richmond Examiner of I)cc. 1 admits that to reach the coast was in his power. It reports, more• over, that he had safely crossed the Oconee River, a stream about halt• way between Atlanta and Augusta, upon, the banks of which the Rich. mond papers, as late as the 29th November, had re■ ported him to be detained. They do not, however, mention the date of the despatches from Georgia which contained this news. It is asserted, indeed, that Sherman had been kept in check for te n days upon this line, being opp osed b y a force :n front and harassed at the same time in flank and rear, Hood meantime, far from dreaming that be could follow on Sherman's track with any hope of coming up in time to aid in his discomfiture, has been playing out his game in Tenne , 3see. Having crossed the river of th at name, drivin g before him the smaller Federal force commanded by General Schofield, who retreated in the direction of Nash ville, he succeeded in coming up with his opponents at Franklin, about twenty miles. south of that 'town. Here the Federals turned tied fo le ht. Hood's first attack was successful, and drove them back; but they rallied, and by a vigorous charge recovered the ground, capturing a tho us an d prime loners, prea Boners, and inflicting a loss on th •fl opponents estimated at 3 000 or 4,000 killed and wounded.
